Robert Millikan http://www.kentchemistry.com/links/AtomicStructure/Millikan.htm What is Millikan’s major contribution? Watch the video that animates the Oil Drop Experiment. Let’s pretend that you have to explain what happened in this experiment to a class of fourth graders. How did the experiment work and what did Millikan find out? You cannot use any big fancy words!!!
Erwin Schrodinger and Werner Heisenberg http://www.kentchemistry.com/links/AtomicStructure/schrodinger.htm State Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. Explain Schrodinger’s contribution to the model of the atom. Find visuals that show what Schrodinger’s s, p, d, and f energy sublevels look like.
